Hocker enhancing a U of Oregon tradition… though I didn’t think that was happening this soon. It seems Ingebrigtsen went way early and Kerr hung just behind.

*sigh* No medals from women's pole vault either, though not unexpected considering the tough season Wilma's been having.

Degrasse throwing shade on his coach like it was his fault he didn't do well. I have never thought Degrasse was fast and this Olympics prove it. He beat the field in Tokyo but his times were very average. This will be his last Olympics because I doubt he will be able to beat the upcoming talent.

The lawsuits against the coach that create a distraction are certainly the coach's fault

Good news, that was incredibly scary
Ethiopia’s Lamecha Girma taken to hospital after horror fall in 3,000m steeplechase
Ethiopia’s Lamecha Girma regained consciousness and was talking after he was taken to hospital after his accident in the 3,000m steeplechase
www.theguardian.com
The Ethiopian athlete Lamecha Girma regained consciousness and was able to speak after a sickening fall in the Olympic 3,000m steeplechase final in Paris on Wednesday night.
The world record-holder hit his head on the track after clipping his knee on a barrier on the final lap of the race. He then lay motionless before being put in a neck brace and taken off on a stretcher by medics.

Same, he looked dead at the 300m mark. Incredible second wind.
Based off the dramatic US finishes lately, I almost expected him to pull out the win during the final lap.

Horrifying stuff. You wouldn't have known watching it on TV. I can't imagine what it was like being at the stadium -- guy goes down, and there's an exciting finish, but you can still see the guy isn't moving...what an experience that would've been in every sense of the word.

Canada's entire track team has been brutal these Olympics. Do these athletes even get any funding? Because it's downright embarrassing how bad they do. Even our "medal hopefuls" like Degrasse can't even make it to the finals, let alone actually win a medal.
If they start handing out medals for finishing in 5th or 6th place in the semis, we'll absolutely kill it.

Good thing it was on the final lap, too.....what would they have done if there were still two laps to go but they had a medical emergency directly behind one of the hurdles, with a badly injured runner that couldn't be moved in time?
Glad he's alright at least.

I think we are in between generations.. It doesn't make sense, I know, but its the best excuse I got man.
Hopefully the 4 x 100 is still a possibility.
